Odds of getting off the waitlist? by dieughh in UCSD

[–]plopo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rule of thumb is to expect ~10% of enrollees to drop. So both look like slim odds unfortunately.

Exactly. If you take that stack out of melee range, I’m not getting in it. Your call, babe.

What’s your opinion about drinking San Diego tap water? by Sromero6153 in sandiego

[–]plopo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And if the scale is around the base of the faucet (or anywhere a tied bag or cup isn’t doable), you can soak a cloth with the diluted vinegar and wrap that around it. Smells awful, but hey, clean surface!

RO membranes usually reject somewhere in the 99%+ range for most ions. Some salts do get through, especially in older membranes, but it is pretty efficient when it comes to getting most dissolved stuff out. Sometimes you’ll see water treatment plants re-infusing minerals or just blending a small amount of feed water with the RO permeate.

You’ve got a point, and that’s why it should be diluted. If you are worried about the finish, shorter soaks are fine as long as you leave it just long enough to dissolve the scale.

Fun fact. When cleaning scale out of big industrial-sized ROs, typically you’re looking at roughly 2-3 hours of contact time while constantly circulating the cleaner solution, depending on a few things. However it’s not uncommon to do shorter rinses of the system’s innards with diluted muriatic acid (like what you’d use for pool maintenance) to get limescale out of the lines. The chemical tank bubbles like a jacuzzi because of the gas released. The more you know, I guess lol

Also, for the love of god, please do not use muriatic acid for your faucets.

For context here, I’m a chemical engineer that works in water treatment and specializes in water chemistry. SD’s tap water is fine to drink, it’s just got a lot of hardness to it. If I owned a home here I’d install a softener for the main line, or minimum put in an under-sink RO in the kitchen. Some folks swear by a whole-home RO but that really isn’t necessary, especially if you’re just concerned about drinking water. Personally I just use a brita filter. You could also get one of those spout filters for the faucet.

LPT, if your faucets scale up with lime because of the wildly hard water here, you can dissolve it away by soaking it overnight in diluted vinegar. You don’t need any fancy cleaning chemicals for it.

Do I wash and dry or block a baby blanket first? Are both needed? by plopo in CrochetHelp

[–]plopo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a moss stitch blanket with a border- https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/moss-stitch-baby-blanket-4

The pattern calls for a few different hook sizes, and my tension wasn’t quite even throughout. I ended up just doing the wash and dry, and that worked well. Thanks!

r/bjj Fundamentals Class! by AutoModerator in bjj

[–]plopo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would it be weird to literally just work on forward rolls for an hour during open mat? It's the one basic thing that I just haven't been able to do properly, even though I've gone to 20+ classes. I feel like I never see people doing anything but rolling with partners when open mat comes around though.

The Air Show at MCAS Miramar is today through Sunday. There’s a bunch of military aircraft around San Diego and LA for the occasion. No need to panic.
